In reply to the discussion: A blinded fox cub left for dead by a speeding car has been helped back to health by his unusual pals [View all]kestrel91316
(51,666 posts)7. He had head trauma and temporarily lost his senses.
I had a stray kitten at the clinic for a while that couldn't see, hear, smell, or do much of anything for a couple of days after running into a car tire while bolting across the street at about 8 weeks of age. Major concussion.
She got over it, had some trivial residual issues that didn't affect quality of life and that only I could tell were there. She's been in a new home for nearly 2 years now and is fine by all accounts (it's far from here so I don't see her anymore).

How is a blind fox ever going to make it after being released back to the wild?

Nice of you to worry about the fox...some would shoot it without a second thought.
